Dougie Freedman
Crystal Palace plunged further into the relegation mire with an abject 3-0 defeat at Swansea.
New Palace manager Dougie Freedman watched the Eagles turn in another awful performance in his first game in charge.
Swansea made their superior possession count by going in front two minutes before half-time when Scott Sinclair slipped past Nathaniel Clyne on the left and crossed to a totally unmarked Darren Pratley who picked his spot to score.
Sinclair doubled the advantage in the 56th minute with a penalty after David Wright was deemed to have fouled Nathan Dyer in the box.
And Sinclair, who had a spell on loan with Palace in 2008, scored a second from the penalty spot for 3-0 five minutes later after Steffen Iversen handled Alan Tate's header in the area.
Swansea: De Vries, Williams, Tate, Rangel, Richards (Alfei 89), Pratley, Dyer (Van der Gun 85), Sinclair, Allen, Gower, Moore (Dobbie 85).
Not Used: Ma-Kalambay, Beattie, Serran, Agustien.
Palace: Speroni, Clyne, Wright, McCarthy, Gardner, Danns, Dorman (Andrew 57), Zaha, Counago (O'Keefe 71), Garvan, Iversen (Easter 61).
Not Used: Price, Davis, Barrett, Cadogan.
